The most important contributor to climate change is carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. When fossil fuels are burned, carbon within the fuel is released in to the air causing earth temperature to increase.

According to an MIT study an average American is responsible for about 20 metric tons of yearly CO2 emissions from energy use alone in a year. On the other hand rest of the world is responsible for about 4 metric tons of CO2 emission per person.

Even the lowest carbon emission communities within US release about 8 metric tons of CO2 every year. Still double the world average.

The Solution

If you like to help reduce carbon emission, the first thing you need to do is identifying your carbon footprint and take actions to reduce it. Simple things that you can do is using public transportation more often and using energy saving light bulbs.

You can also help offset your carbon emission by participating tree planting projects because as trees grow they will soak up carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.

One of the most effective ways to offset your carbon emission is through planting trees. Planting trees improve the natural environment for the benefit of climate, wildlife and people.

If you are one of those conscious people who takes carbon emission seriously you can contribute to tree planting project.

Tree planting is a time consuming and a difficult task. Luckily there are project around the world, which promote tree planting as a way to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So you don't need to go out find empty space and plant trees.

Thanksgiving day has been an annual holiday in the United States since 1863. It also celebrates by Canadians. For this day, families get together, spending some quality time and they serve turkey, stuffings, potatoes, and homemade pumpkin pies to the all family members. Thanksgiving is a great chance to give thanks for what we have. We actually need to give thanks all the time, but as we human being sometimes forget to give thanks because of busy schedule.

We will celebrate Thanksgiving day on November 23rd this year. Almost all diners, restaurants and pizza places will be close in the name of Thanksgiving day in USA and Canada, because people gather with their relatives and close friends at home. For sure nobody would order pizza and some french fries on this day instead of having yummy turkey and delicious homemade pumpkin pies.

Thanksgiving day is also very busy day for traveling in USA and Canada, because people who live in different cities from their family away, fly over to their hometown and many people also have Friday off, so totally people have 4 days off.

Thanksgiving day is also great chance to give gifts to the family members. There are so many gift options for this day, but it must be unique for it. Woodstone wooden watches and sunglasses are the best gift options for each member of the family, because our products are organic enough for this traditional Thanksgiving day!

Unfortunately, well known metropolitan cities have failed about these improvements.

1-Copenhagen, DENMARK

Copenhagen is the capital city of Denmark and it surrounded by parks and water. Copenhageners love to consume organic food, recycling electric bikes and having sun bath from the parks. Copenhagen was European Green Capital 2014. The ambitious green profile of the city has a clear goal: The City of Copenhagen aims to become the world's first CO2 neutral capital by 2025. Hotels in Copenhagen also hold an official eco certification for tourists.

2-Amsterdam, NETHARLANDS

When we mention about Amsterdam, certainly city bicycles comes in our mind. The people in Amsterdam love bicycles, they even have their own roads and it has pretty traffic when the rush hour in the city. Amsterdam also won a Climate Leadership Award. In 2010, Amsterdam developed ambitious environmental goals in its Amsterdam Energy Strategy 2040, aiming to reduce CO2 by 40% in 2025 compared to 1990.

3-San Francisco, USA

San Francisco took the place as the greenest city in North American in a study of the environmental performance in the U.S. and Canada. If we actually talk about CO2, energy, land use, buildings, transport, water, waste, air and environmental governance, we can also write San francisco to the top of list. The municipal of California have some plans to encourage people to consume products that recycled materials and multiplication of public transportation.

4-Izmir, TURKEY

Izmir is the located at west of Turkey and 3rd biggest city in Turkey. We can also stated one of the european city in Turkey. İzmir municipality serves as the first full fleet of Turkey's full electric buses, started to receive this environmental friendly investment shortly. This means, it has already consumed 162 thousand liters of fuel; the atmosphere saved 11 thousand trees but only carbon dioxide that could be cleaned. At the same time people living in İzmir and nearby cities come here to ride bicycles along side of the Eagen sea. It has almost 60 km bike road.

5-Adelaide city, AUSTRALIA

Across the world, cities have a lot of attention of climate change issue. Adelaide is one of them and they take really serious cautions about that. According to a spokesman, Adelaide City Council allocates 1% of total rates to its Climate Change Action Initiatives Fund annually. In 2015/16 this is $932,000.

When the leaves are turning brown and the weather gets cold, we easily understand fall is just around the corner. Falls make some people sad, some people very excited about it. I'm feeling little bit sad when the fall comes, but most of all feeling excited, because you will not sweat anymore and could get more sweet breeze. This season is not lasting long, either you make it simple and fun or waiting for the winter while drinking coffee and watching the falling leaves.

On earth, every single creature has to keep up with the different seasons. Time flies and can not be catched. We have to act on time and keep up with the seasons with wearing right color and right kind of dress for the fashion.

In this season, people move their summer clothes to the shelves and bring their winter clothes to the wardrobe. Shopping websites are like the missing piece of the puzzle, when you need more clothes for the fall and for the winter. We would like to help you out with that. You can wear our Woodstone wooden watches on every season, but especially on the fall. On earth there are no people gets no attention from other people while wearing our Woodstone wood watches.

If you live in towns or villages, go any nice looking and spa hotels for a great moments. The world has lots of beauties, from the west to the east, from the north to the south, we should appreciate what we have and we have to kind polite to the nature and environment.

Humankind does not appreciate many things in their life especially the nature. Whereas the nature sustain and keep us up together. Without it we can not live and breathe. As a humankind we have a significant duty which is taking care of the nature. Even if we pollute the air, the water and the sea, not only shorten our life span but also our world's too.

We as Woodstone wooden watches and sunglasses company be aware of our responsibilitiy. We plant out one tree for each selling item over TreesForTheFuture organization. On the production process, we just use dead and unused trees, not cutting down the trees the live ones.

Nature offers us an incredible opportunity to live. It offers food, clothes even houses to live inside. We need to be appreciated. If we don't appreciate, then nature would take back what it served to us. Another issue is to utilize waste products. We as Woodstone wooden watches and sunglasses company, utilizing waste products, that are using recycled woods or dead woods. After using waste products, world would be better to live. We just need to be very conscious person about it.

What we can do is to use nature friendly and recycled products for being this world better to live. In fact the most important thing is to get educated about the nature, this way we can leave better world for our next generations. As Herbert Spencer has said, "Education is a great goal, not knowledge but action".

At the end of this blog, I need a favor from you. Please make your parents, children and your friends to love the nature and let them know, there is no nature, we won't be survive at all. Our children is the future of this world. We need to educate them first and teach them to use nature friendly and recycled products.

Please let us know, if you want to contribute to this blog.

After that you can use another clean tissue to remove any excess oil.

You can wash your hands with wearing your watch, but you need to avoid direct contact with water. For example, don't swim with your wooden watch or don't go shower with your wood watch. You can also walk under the rain with wearing your watch.

You can also apply beeswax, lip balm, walnut oil or little bit of hand cream in order to maintain the natural and beautiful look of your wooden product.

For certain, to buy gifts to our father is an issue, because there are not many gift options for them. Specially when they are getting older, it is getting harder.

After that, if you will celebrate your first anniversary, then you can choose a good quality restaurant, but sometimes people live in small village or a town that there is no good quality restaurant, then you can take your partner to a sea side, or go for picnic with full of roses and candles. I am sure, this makes your partner will fall in love with you again. Because your first anniversary celebration is important for memories.

If you will celebrate your any other anniversary, then you make a plan for your partner very modest way. You can even celebrate your anniversary while cycling near the river, or you can take your partner to a restaurant in the forest. Beside these I would suggest you to buy a memorable gift for your partner such as natural products at your anniversary celebration. We can also recommend our wooden watches and wooden sunglasses.

In this 21st century, coffee became one of the most popular drink around the world. Especially in some countries people consume large amount of coffee. For instace in Finland, people drink 9.6 kg of coffee per capita. Nations are all around the world, consume coffee with different grinds, such as Turkish coffee, instant coffee or espresso. Coffee has also caffeine, which makes people awake and feel fresh in the morning.

So, who wants some hot and aromatic a cup of coffee? :)

If we dig little bit into the history of coffee, people in Ethiopia had found first coffee beans.The myth was that, a shepherd sees one of his goats eats coffee beans and the goat starts to jump itself. After seeing his goat acts more energetic, the shepherd wonders, is it the coffee bean that makes the goat jump? To find it out he tries one of those beans. Eventually, he eats and started to feel great. As the time goes, people have learned how to consume this bean in different ways and eventually made a delicious coffee we know today. One thing we know, much water has flown beneath the bridge, so we don`t eat , coffee beans , we actually drink it.

Coffee can be drink in hot or cold, but generally hot is preferred. Best coffees usually made by coffee shops by experts we call them Baristas. Baristas don`t only make a cup of coffee, they do art. Because they use milk to make interesting shapes on cup of coffee, which we call it latte. People also brew themselves at home. They sometimes cook the coffee which is famous in Balkan countries.

Time is important, wake up early in the morning and look at your beautifully designed Woodstone wooden watch and realise it`s time to leave the bed and have a fresh cup of coffee.

Let us know what is your favourite cup of coffee down below :)

I tell you, because this time of the year everyone meets together and they eat together, chat, play snow balls, here it is the warmth between this family or friends is enough to resist even the most freezing colds, this is the answer.

Imagine, on a cold day, a freshly-brewed cup of coffee, no one will say no, whether it is freezing cold.

Today Veganism is getting more and more popular around the world. There are many reasons why people all around the world are getting interested in vegan life style. One of them is rising awareness of cruelty in meat and poultry industry.

Being a vegan is stopping consumption of any food or drink that derives from animal source which included meats, poultry , eggs and milk.

There are some concerns regarding vegan lifestyle. Most significant of them is that vegans deprive themselves from essential nutritions from animal based diet, such as B12 vitamin, Omega3 and Calcium .

However there are there are a lot of vegan meal ranging from delicious meals, salads, even a dessert which doesn't contain milk. There are substitute for almost every animal based ingredients.

There are different types of vegetarians. I would like to mention differences between these types,

1-Vegans, do not consume food of animal origins, meat, fish, eggs, honey, diary or any other animal products. They also don`t wear clothes made by animal products like leather.

2-Semi vegetarians, can only eat chicken or any other poultry which is free range and organic, but not to eat mammals animal product such as meat.

Why people go vegan ?

Vegan way of life is considering animal rights, environmental issue, respect for other living creatures. They don`t want animals to suffer and mess up ecological structure. Vegan don`t wear leather or animal fiber clothes, they just love to wear anything from nature such as wooden product, vegetable product or natural products. There are some companies who considers vegans such as Woodstone wooden watches. We manufacture and design organic and sustainable wood watches and wood sunglasses from all natural woods around the world.
